Description
A creamy, cheesy twist on the classic Philly cheesesteak, this comforting tortellini pasta dish brings all the savory flavors of steak, onions, and peppers into one easy and indulgent meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound beef (sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
- 12 ounces tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella/cheddar blend)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the tortellini according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté sliced onions and green peppers until soft, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Move the veggies to the side and add sliced beef. Season with salt and pepper and cook until browned and fully cooked, around 5–7 minutes.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a light simmer. Let the mixture thicken slightly, then stir in the cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add cooked tortellini to the skillet and toss gently to coat. Warm through and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if using and serve hot.
Notes
To spice things up, toss in jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. For a vegetarian option, replace the beef with mushrooms. Reheat leftovers with a splash of milk to maintain the creamy texture.
